Sometimes a walk on flat ground isn't enough to stimulate one's awe of the forest, so <a href="http://www.tetsuokondo.jp/">Tetsuo Kondo Architects</a> designed a winding, floating trail called "A Path in the Forest" for the Kadriorg Park in Tallinn, Estonia. Part of the <a href="http://www.lift11.ee/">LIFT11 festival</a> that celebrates Tallinn's status as the 2011 European Capital of Culture, the trail is 95 meters long and relies on the 300 year old trees for its structural support.
